Interested in #solar #wind #solarpunk and actually building small solar systems.

Hello fediverse solarpunks! We’re Solarpunk Presents Podcast, a podcast run on a shoestring budget by two lady solarpunks, one in Canada (@arielkroon) and one in Germany (@xtinadr@wandering.shop). We’re not great with technology, but we happen to both be PhDs from the opposite sides of the spectrum between STEM and Humanities/the Arts, and we’re united in our working towards solarpunk futures.

Our podcast is an interview-style podcast where we talk to guests and each other about various aspects of solarpunk, renewable energies, political action, and more. Often, our guests are people who wouldn’t label themselves as solarpunks, but are (and have been, often for years) quietly involved in working towards making the world a better place to live in. We strongly believe that once you get past the aesthetic and hype about renewables, solarpunk at its core promotes compassion, kinship with non-humans and humans alike, and grace for our fellow human beings as we all work together to survive on our shared planet.

You can support the podcast on Patreon, with tiers starting at just $1 USD! We host a monthly solarpunk hangout that all of our patrons are invited to, and all Patrons at the $3 tier and up receive early access to our episodes. There are more tiers with more extras, so head to https://patreon.com/solarpunkpresents to see them all. We also take one-time or recurring donations over at our PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=4QYBB8LGBC6FS
Even if you’re not in the financial position to donate, we really value other forms of support, such as positive reviews on your podcatcher of choice (it helps us be more visible and reach more solarpunks!), or subscriptions to our YouTube channel and comments there. As writers, we thrive on feedback, and we are continually trying to make the podcast better and want to know what you think.

As I’ve said before, it's rough out there for anyone valuing the environment, social justice, compassion, and more, and we want to keep doing our part to keep hope alive. We want to broaden the imagination of what it's possible to do to contribute to a better world, no matter who you are, where you live, or what life stage you're at.

@ge0rg fastboot? For FB
@ge0rg the pads at the top of the PCB from the rear view look interesting, looks like a Rx label, perhaps a debug UART?

hi #permacomputers, #hackers, #bricoleurs

Starting to tinker with old/disused smartphones to self-host. However, upon buying a couple second-hand phones, I'm often faced with Google's FRP protection: you can only use the phone by connecting to the previous owner's google account. Factory reset doesn't solve this.
Do you have any trustworthy resources on bypassing this? terminal tools? forums?
Seems essentials to increase phone's lifespan.

thankssss

@vapaad while I suspect in the US its the most extreme I think you'd find similar experiences in the UK and most of western Europe. In the UK the tuition fees are going up so it's creating a new class system (or extending the old one) of those who need help and those who don't

Pretending I have a 4mm thick e-Ink Macintosh Plus.

@smallsolar Oh you're in luck. It will be easy to transplant. I've been trying for a few seasons now to transplant oak seedlings germinated in the ground (we find them in the yard after a squirrel buried an acorn) with no success. They seem to sink a deep taproot almost immediately, and if you sever it, the seedling will die. It's really hard to get the whole taproot.
@smallsolar Cute baby tree! I have one of similar size which is about 3 weeks old, for reference :D
Behind the kids playhouse we dumped a load of old containers, just found a cheeky oak (I think) trying to grow, moved it now to somewhere more fitting for a future ancient tree.
